The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, rated lifting component engineered for the safe overhead suspension of large truss systems, with this specific model featuring a 16-inch length, a one-ton load capacity, a multi-hole adjustment pattern, and a black anodized finish. This pick is designed as the critical interface between a Mega-Truss segment and the rigging chain or shackle, providing a secure, engineered point for flying lighting arrays, speaker clusters, and video walls. The 16-inch length offers substantial clearance between the truss body and the lifting hardware, ensuring unobstructed hook engagement and preventing interference with mounted equipment. The one-ton (2,000 lb) working load limit (WLL) provides a significant safety margin for suspending heavy loads, giving riggers and production managers confidence in the assembly's integrity for both static and dynamic applications.

The multi-hole design is a key feature that sets this pick apart, providing multiple attachment points along its length for the rigging shackle. This allows for fine adjustments to the effective hanging height of the truss bundle, enabling precise leveling and alignment of the entire flown structure without needing to adjust the chain motor or primary rigging point. The black anodized finish on the aluminum body signifies a hard-coating process that offers superior corrosion resistance, durability, and a non-reflective surface ideal for theatrical environments. The pick is constructed from high-tensile aluminum or forged steel, with a top mounting end engineered to bolt securely to the truss chord. This combination of adjustable hole patterns, a rated load capacity, and a protective finish makes it an exceptionally versatile and reliable component in professional rigging systems.

This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging applications in concert touring, theatrical productions, and permanent installations where precision and safety are non-negotiable. It facilitates the industry best practice of ground-rigging, allowing technicians to fully assemble and cable truss segments on the ground before attaching the picks and lifting the entire bundle into position. The multi-hole feature is particularly valuable for fine-tuning the trim height of individual truss points to achieve a perfectly level grid, which is crucial for the aesthetic alignment of the truss and the functional stability of mounted equipment. For rental houses and production companies, using a clearly rated, adjustable pick like this ensures compliance with the highest safety standards, protects valuable equipment, and provides a flexible tool that can be adapted to the specific needs of any venue or installation, thereby enhancing both operational safety and efficiency.
